MIAMI (WSVN) - An 11-year-old girl on Tuesday was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after she was shot in Miami, police said.
According to Miami Police, the child was shot inside a ground-floor unit at an apartment building in the 200 block of Northwest 17th Avenue.
“Girlfriend advised father left. Black Nissan headed for JMH,” said a dispatcher over Broadcastify police scanner.
The child was driven by a family member to Holtz Children’s Hospital at around noon, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
“Inside the unit, there is a scene. There’s blood splatter,” said a dispatcher over the Broadcastify police scanner.
Police surrounded the child’s father’s car, which was parked outside the hospital.
“We don’t have many details at this time; it’s early on in the investigation. We don’t know the exact condition. We know the last thing they told us is that she is very critical,” said Miami Police Department Chief Manny Morales.
The police chief said everyone involved in this incident was detained.
“Units responded to the hospital where they made contact with several individuals that are also in our custody,” he said.
Authorities reassure the public that the shooting is an isolated situation.
“I just want to assure the community no shooters are wanted at this time; there is nobody in the community that is posing a harm or threat,” said Morales. “I just ask everybody to please pray for this 11-year-old little girl who is in extremely critical condition and keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.”
Authorities continue their investigation into this incident.
